1pt Gintonica Recipe

1pt Gintonica
Drawing inspiration from the iconic Spanish Gin & Tonic, this deceptively simple cocktail brings together gin infused with zesty Omani lime, aromatic lemongrass, and delicate Mt Olympus flower, mixed with tonic water and a splash of fresh lime juice. This Mediterranean twist balances bright citrus, gentle floral notes, and refreshing herbal hints, making it perfect for lively gatherings or a relaxed evening. Whether enjoyed as a classic cocktail or a mocktail, the Gintonica adds an elegant touch to any occasion.

STEP 1 - Easy All-Natural Infusion

Infuse Your Spirit:
Combine a 1pt Lime Infusion Blend Packet with 375ml of gin in any lidded container. Let it infuse for 2-3 hours, then strain, and reserve the infused spirit for your cocktails. (No need to refrigerate - infused spirits can be stored indefinitely at room temperature)

1pt Lime Infusion Blend Ingredients:
Omani Lime, Lemongrass, Rosehip, Mt Olympus Flower - no sugar, gluten, dairy, nuts, additives, or preservatives

Mocktail* Version:
Substitute a zero-proof gin for the alcohol in this infusion and follow the same steps. (Non-alcoholic infusions should be refrigerated and used within 30 days)

STEP 2 - Mix Your Drink

Mixing Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a suitable glass with ice and stir to combine. For batching, combine all ingredients in a pitcher with ice and serve as normal.

Garnish:
Garnish freely with fig slices, a quartered orange wheel, and a sprig of lavender to enhance the citrusy and floral notes of the infusion, capturing the Mediterranean essence of a Spanish Gin & Tonic.

STEP 3 - Enjoy!

For an Added Twist:
Add a few dried rose petals for an aromatic flourish.
